How to terminate a Python script

Question

I am aware of the die() command in PHP which exits a script early.

How can I do this in Python?

Answer 1

You can also use simply exit().

Keep in mind that sys.exit(), exit(), quit(), and os._exit(0) kill the Python interpreter. Therefore, if it appears in a script called from another script by execfile(), it stops execution of both scripts.

See "Stop execution of a script called with execfile" to avoid this.
